Jaguars defensive end Andre Branch has been fined $17,363 for a roughing the passer call in last Sunday’s win over the Colts.

The fine came because Branch delivered a helmet-to-helmet hit on Colts quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. The Jaguars were flagged 15 yards for the play.

It was an otherwise positive day for Branch, who had two sacks and returned a strip sack fumble 49 yards for a touchdown in the Jaguars’ first win over the Colts since 2012.

Branch was fined the same amount earlier in the season for a hit on Bills quarterback E.J. Manuel.
